Well, not everybody is the pope. Actually, just one of us is and while delivering his weekly blessing from the Vatican he dropped the biggest cuss word of them all. The one you\u2019re really<\/em> not supped to say.<\/p>\n

(Don\u2019t worry, the video is safe for work\u2026unless everybody at work speaks Italian)<\/p>\n

So this means we don\u2019t have feel bad about cussing anymore, right?!<\/p>\n

Not even in church!!<\/p>\n

Alas, it is not to be.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, according to this story from Slate<\/em><\/a>, it was just a slip of the tongue. The Argentinian pope\u2019s native language is, of course, Spanish and he was delivering this particular blessing in Italian. So it was just a mispronunciation of a foreign word.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s be honest.<\/p>\n

This is probably the greatest thing that has ever happened to every little Catholic boy and girl (and this guy) out there.<\/p>\n

Because we all know that from now on, every time they get in trouble for saying a \u201cno no\u201d word, they\u2019ve got the perfect get out of jail free card.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut mommy, Pope Francis said a cuss word too\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
